Sad to see an industry legend implode

Pros

Westcoast vibe and free food. The company had the potential to be the #2 player in the industry.

Cons

Management didn't understand the industry. Exec's didn't listen to employee or client feedback. Unrealistic goals that were not driven by data. Poor management at the exec level. SH never addressed the traffic issues or product delivery problems.

Not worth your time

Pros

The people there were fun loving and easy to get along with. The company had few people so we all knew each other's name. The free lunches were a plus.

Cons

I'm amazed that the company is still around. The leadership wanted to push take the website international, but it couldn't even do well in its own domestic market. Not only was the company not growing, neither were employee's career. When the new CTO first started his position, perhaps less than 1 month into the job, he blatantly said that he's looking to hire more senior level engineer's but will not promote current employees to that position. What he really meant to say was "I'm going to hire all my friends to come join me". Bottom line, join this company if all you care about is getting a paycheck. Don't join this company if you want to see any kind of growth at all, whether it be in your career or company growth.

Not so great for engineers

Pros

Couple of smart people in engineering fun to work with. Good if you are new to SV.

Cons

Engineering management is way behind today's reality. Off-site engineering team and other associate engineers are not able to keep up and you probably will be the one to be blamed for that. The company evidently is not able to attract as many good engineers as it needs. The overall experience is okay but don't expect to get a raise or get promoted. It was a great time to work here but definitely there was not much room for growth. The company's benefits are below the market average. I wouldn't recommend this company for a long term employment.
